OK; then we should remove the redundant stuff some time.

Oh, the printf stuff most definitely adds something; 

       ‘%-0.1e’ printf: x
is a whole lot nicer than 
      (x printShowingDecimalPlaces: 1) padded: #left to: 1 with: $0

.. and having all the other options provided nice and cleanly is a real bonus. It’s well worth quickly loading to take a look at. I suspect quite a bit of code could be cleaned up by using this instead of assorted ad hoc methods.
